Thats for a prison. But you can't bring a gun into the jail area of a local lock-up. You can have one in the public area of a county jail, unless it's attached to a court and they use that as an excuse to ban firearms from the entire complex.

Do you know what law prohibits it in a jail?

"No state shall convert a liberty to a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor.- Murdock vs Pennsylvania 319 US 105

...If the state converts a right into a privelege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right... with impunity.
- Shuttleworth vs City of Birmingham, Alabama 317 US 262

Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no legislation which would abrogate them.
- Miranda vs Arizona 384 US 436

Im from the eastside of the state, id mainly be ocing in the subburbs just north of eight mile road.

The officers in these cites that border Detroit are very finicky and love to bug anyone for anything they can.

I have been OCing just north (and south) or 8 mile for 4 and a half years!!! From Novi to Eastpoint on a somewhat daily basis, as far as the 8 Mile corador goes on the North side. I live in Hazel Park. I OC 95%+ of the time in the summer, and about 20% - 25% of the time in the winter. I have only EVER had 1 LEO encounter, and that was OC w/CPL in a PFZ, which turned out with an appologie to me.

I dont think so. Looks like to me that only applies if you have it to give to a prisoner to use.

2 years of OC for me in Roseville/Eastpointe and I only had a couple of consensual LEO interactions due to MWAG calls in summer of 2010. It has been nearly 18 months since the last interaction but I still never leave the house without my recorder. I OC 99% of the time (not counting my new BUG) but I work from home so I don't get out and about like some of the other's that OC over here.

I would have thought for sure eastpointe would be all over people for oc.

I was once sitting in the parking lot next to burger king eating my food I got from there,
watching them pull people over on eightmile. As soon as I pulled out of the lot I was promptly
stoped. The reason, I was parked in a known drug location was ran and let go.

I think that the current MOC VP lives in Eastpointe. OC is legal, drugs aren't.

So merely being parked in a known drug location all by itself with no other suspicious indicators is legal reasonable and articulable suspicion of committing a crime that enables police to stop folks?

That is disturbing to me. Very disturbing.

Gun control isn't about the gun at all.... for those who want gun control it is all about their own fragile egos, their own lack of self esteem, their own inner fears, and most importantly... their own desire to dominate others. And an openly carried gun is a slap in the face to all of those things.
